练习材料：

After reading an article entitled 'Cigarette Smoking and Your Health' I lit a cigarette to calm my nerves. I smoked with concentration and pleasure as I was sure that this would be my last cigarette.For a whole week I did not smoke at all and during this time, my wife suffered terribly. I had all the usual symptoms of someone giving up smoking: a bad temper and an enormous appetite. My friends kept on offering me cigarettes and cigars. They made no effort to hide their amusement whenever I produced a packet of sweets from my pocket. After seven days of this I went to a party.Everybody around me was smoking and I felt extremely uncomfortable. When my old friend Brian urged me to accept a cigarette, it was more than I could bear. I took one guiltily, lit it and smoked with satisfaction. My wife was delighted that things had returned to normal once more. Anyway, as Brian pointed out, it is the easiest thing in the world to give up smoking. He himself has done it lots of times!

笔记：

1.知识点

（1）an article entitled‘Cigarette Smoking and Your Health’,一篇题为《吸烟与健康》的文章。

　　在英语中，文章名与书名中的每个单词的第一个字母均大写，不在开头位置的连词、冠词、小品词除外。entitle的含义为“给……题名/定名”，在这里是过去分词(短语)作定语。entitle常用于被动语态：

　　The writer hasn't entitled his new book yet

（2）lit      light的过去分词和过去式

v.点燃; 点火; 开始燃烧; 燃起来; 照亮; 使明亮;

（3）calm my nerves 安抚紧张的情绪

（4）I had all the usual symptoms of someone giving up smoking: a bad temper and

an enormous appetite. 我具备了戒烟者通常表现出来的所有症状：脾气暴躁和食欲旺盛。

　　a bad temper and an enormous appetite为symptoms的同位语。

　　giving up smoking可以看做是someone的定语，即someonewho gives up smoking.

（5）They made no effort to hide…他们毫不掩饰地……

　　make no effort表示“根本不作努力”。我们还可以说：

　　She wrote the letter with/without effort. 她费力地/毫不费力地写了那封信。

（6）…it was more than I could bear. ……我再也忍不住了。more

than后面跟一个从句或一个形容词时可以表示“超出”(多用于口语)：

　　He was more than pleased with his new room.他对自己的新房间极其满意。

（7）suffer terribly痛苦不堪

（8）urge sb to do 敦促某人做某事
